fuel.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, refer- 2 ence will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of the invention. Fig. 2 is a front view thereof with the supply pipe in section.

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the frame of the burner of rectangular shape in the drawings, but which of course may be of circular shape or other shapes, so as to conformto the shape of the fire box in which it is to be placed. Each side member of the frame is of course, of tubular construction, and a lurality of small pipes or tubes 2 projects rom the top of the frame, these tubes being threaded into holes in the frame part, or otherwise attached to the frame part with the tubes in communication with the interior of the frame.

After the tubes are put in place, they are bent outwardly, so that the flames produced by the burning gas escaping from the tubes will be directed against the walls of the furnace, thus producing the maximum amount of heat with the minimum amount of fuel.

59 A coupling 5 is welded or otherwise connected to the central part of one of the members of the frame, and a short length of pipe 6 is threaded into the coupling. A small supplv pipe 7 has one end extending into the pipe 6, and is spaced therefrom by the spacers '8 so that air can enter the outer end of the pipe 6 through the space formed by said pipe and the pipe 7, and thus mixed with the gas and air flowing from the pipe 7 The outer end of the pipe 7 has attached thereto any desired type of air mixer 9 and the low pressure gas line is shown at 10 for introducing gas through the nozzle 11 into the air mixer. This device is adapted to be placed in the firebox of a stove or furnace on a flooring of t n or the like, so as to keep the air from coming up through the bottom part of the fire box.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the com- 1 bination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the sco I claim as new is of the appended claim. Having thus described my invention, what A burner for the firebox of a furnace comprising a frame of rectangular shape and each-member thereof being formed of tubular stock, a plurality of small burner tubes connected with the top of each member of the frame and in communication with the 7 interior thereof and extending upwardly and outwardly to direct the flames against the walls of the firebox, each burner tube being formed of a single piece of tubing of the same diameter throughout, a coupling fastened to the front of one of the members of the frame,

a large pipe threaded in the coupling, a small pipe extending into the outer end of the large pipe, and spaced therefrom and means for introducing a mixture of air and gas into the outer end of the small pipe.

In testimony whereof I 'aflix my signature.

EARL RAGON.
